The "no true Scotsman" fallacy is...
... the mistaken belief that there exists no true Scotsman.
In fact, at any give time, there are between one and three of them.
...
However, prior to c++11, other Scotsmen were implicitly convertible to bool, resulting in additional ambiguity.
...
Discussion is currently ongoing on replacing the existing implementation defined collection with a single canonical Scotsman, declared constexpr, in the upcoming c++20 standard. 🤔

ranting about C [3/?]
I think that last paragrap in the article is so important.
Parallelism is easy. It's so easy. It's so so easy. But it's unapproachably difficult in C and the languages directly based on C
ranting about C [2/?]
but it's not. C being taught in universities as a default language is absolutely disasterous for Computing as a field - it's an overly complex, difficult language that makes things hard, and is only fast because IT KEEPS BEING USED WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE
it's from 50 years ago, and yet people treat it like it's some magical unicorn which we can never approach or criticise or improve.
and I'm sick of that attitude.
I'm sick of people telling me that "nothing's as fast as C"
